Yes, the DMV can request an offset of your tax refund to collect money that you owe. To see if your refund is expected to be offset, you can call the Treasury Offset Program automated phone line at 800-304-3107.

And....there are states that can seize your state refund for delinquent traffic fines, etc. too.  That will depend on the tax laws in your state.
